Chrysler town and country

The 175 members of the Canadian Auto Workers union went on strike Thursday afternoon. Local 444 says the workers are asking for an increase in wages from $11.25 an hour. The plant makes brake and suspension systems, mostly for Chrysler’s Windsor Assembly Plant. One Chrysler official says the assembly plant could face shutdown if the TRW employees aren’t back on the job soon. The Canadian Press says negotiations were continuing Thursday.
